Planning a cruise trip with your family or partner and are unsure of what to expect on your first ever trip. The following are just a few suggestions to improve your stay.
Sounds obvious but the ships are on the big side some of them holding as many 3000 passengers and crew. The last you want to do is keep getting lost every time you head out of your cabin. Ask for a map of the boat and remember to take the copy with you everywhere you on the boat. After a few days you will become familiar with your bearings.
Making sure you have a small bag with you when you board your ship is a must as your luggage will not reach your room for a few hours leaving you ample time to explore the boat. By packing a few essentials you will be ready to explore and possibly stop off at the pool before finding your room.
Leave all your good jewellery behind at home when on the boat. Most of the crew are not wealthy and the last thing you want to do is upset them by flaunting your wealth. Small pieces of costume jewellery perhaps would be more appropriate.
Walk around the ship all the time. This is not only good exercise but a fun way to have a look at your ship and what is on board and where everything is situated. This gives you the best way to familiarise yourself with all the entertainment on board and where the best hang outs are for you.
Tips often confuse travellers, How much do I tip? Who do I tip? There is a guide when you book to who best to tip. On the whole if you tip the crew as often as you can so as to give them a little extra money to spend on themselves as the cruise pay is generally not a lot of money.
When moving around please keep the noise down as much as possible late at night. Passengers often forget that noise travels especially at night. Be a courteous passenger and move around as lightly on your feet as you can with talking and slamming doors kept to a minimum.
Make the most of you holiday by forward planning and taking advantage of the beautiful cities you will be able to visit.
